7 Tips for Traveling During the Holidays

The holiday traveling season is here. Time to create some unforgettable memories with friends and loved ones. Millions plan to travel, so if you’re one, here are a few tips to help protect yourself during your holiday travels:

Consider using credit cards rather than debit cards when traveling to help limit your liability if your information is stolen.

Review maps and directions before taking off. One exit too far can make a world of difference.

Keep important phone numbers written down and stored in a safe place in case your cell phone and wallet are stolen.

(Bonus Tip) Even if you are venturing just a hop, skip and a jump down the street for a holiday dinner, secure your home and make it so thieves will want to try someplace easier.
